To maintain the 2-speed transmission, follow this procedure:
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Place all controls in neutral, stop the engine, set park brake, relieve hydraulic pressure, remove
ignition key, and wait for all moving parts to stop before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or
unplugging.
3. Checking Oil Level:
Each 2-speed transmission is equipped with either a sight glass or sight plug on the front for
checking the oil level.
Check daily
when the gearbox is cold and the machine is level. Oil
should reach the sight plug or be visible through the sight glass, if equipped. Add oil through the
breather plug to maintain the oil level.
4. Refilling
a. Place a large pan or pail under the drain.
b. Remove plug and allow sufficient time for the system to drain.
c. Dispose of the used oil in an environmentally safe manner.
d. Clean the plug and reinstall.
e. Clean around the breather/fill plug. Remove and inspect the breather to ensure that it is
functioning properly.
f.
Using a funnel, fill the transmission to the level of the sight glass. The sight glass is the
correct oil level for the transmission. The 2-speed transmission will hold approximately
10.22
litres (2.7 US gallons)
.
IMPORTANT:
Oil is added to the lubrication system through the breather hole. Always clean
around the breather prior to removing it and adding oil.
IMPORTANT:
When spraying water to clean the mixer, protect the breather to avoid
contamination.
